Walker recall underwayDemocrats critical of petition filed by Republican donorBy Meghan ChuaThe Daily CaRDinal

An unlikely source initi-ated the first petition to recall Republican Gov. Scott Walker on Friday, a week and a half earlier than the start of the recall antici-pated by Democrats.

With a history of donating to Walker and the Republican Party, David Brandt of Muskego filed paperwork Nov. 4 on behalf of the “Close Friends to Recall Walker” committee. In the words of the paperwork, Brandt registered the committee to “ful-fill [his] friend’s last request,” according to Channel3000.com.

The Democratic Party of Wisconsin denounced Brandt’s action as a trick meant to open the door to Walker, who, if the petition is successful, is legally permitted to raise unlimited

funds to campaign against his recall.

Mike Tate, chair of the DPW, released a statement Friday announcing his belief that despite “under-handed and even down-right criminal dirty tricks”, the recall will still take place.

“No matter how dirty the Republicans play or how much outside cash the Koch Brothers spend on false and misleading ads, the people of Wisconsin … will have their day, and they will recall Scott Walker,” Tate said.

According to Nicole Larson, spokeswoman for the Republican Party of Wisconsin, the “rumors being circulated by the Democrats are com-pletely false.” Other state Republicans, including RPW Executive Director Stephan Thompson, have expressed they do not know Brandt, say-ing the GOP was not involved in the Nov. 4 filing.

Police arrested 12 students and ejected 18 at Saturday’s Badger football game, some of the lowest numbers officials have seen all season.

Games with the highest num-ber of arrests were this season’s night games against University of Nevada-Las Vegas on Sept. 1, with 18 students arrested and 39 ejected, and the Badger’s Big Ten welcom-ing game against the Nebraska Corn Huskers on Oct. 1, with 26 student arrests and 43 ejections.

Night games historically

cause more alcohol-related prob-lems because no matter what time the game starts, according to police, tailgating in Madison usually starts at around 9 a.m.

Most arrests and ejections stem from underage drinking, possession of alcohol, fighting and throwing objects.

According to Ald. Mike Verveer, District 4, many individu-als draw the attention of police “not what they are doing to others, but because of the state they are in.”

“If [a student] is having trou-

ble standing or walking, it’s not unusual to be detox conveyanc-es,” he said.

There are thousands of students at football games, Verveer said, and overall there have not been any “real” prob-lems for decades.

He said that back in in the 1980’s, “when the Badgers were lousy,” students threw bleach-ers off the side of the stadium and students would body surf in the stands.

20,000 apply for concealed carry permitLess than a week after a state

law allowing concealed carry went into place, more than 20,000 Wisconsin citizens have already applied for a permit from the Department of Justice.

The new statewide policy, which took effect Nov. 1, lets Wisconsinites apply by mail or in person for a permit to carry hid-den weapons.

The department had received

20,381 concealed carry applica-tions as of Friday afternoon, DOJ communications officer Dana Brueck said.

The DOJ’s downloadable online application also went live last week.

By noon Friday, the DOJ had approved 641 licenses, printed 538 and rejected 117 concealed carry applications, according to Brueck.

Being rejected means a prob-

lem such as incomplete appli-cant data, insufficient training documentation or missing pay, Brueck said.

“Rejected is different from denied,” Brueck clarified in an e-mail. “Applications that say rejected are just that—‘rejected,’ not denied.”

The agency anticipates around 200,000 applicants, the Wisconsin State Journal reported Friday.

Dozens report illness after eating at pyle CenterNearly three dozen people

reported symptoms of diarrhea and vomiting Friday after eating from a buffet at the UW-Madison Pyle Center, a spokeswoman for UW Extension told the Wisconsin State Journal.

According to the official, 35 people reported illness Thursday after the meal in the Pyle Center’s Alumni Lounge.

She said the university

served the same food to four other groups at the center in addition to employees and visi-tors at the Lowell Center, but nobody else reported feeling ill.

Officials from the UW Environment, Health and Safety department were contacted fol-lowing the reports.

Madison and Dane County Public Health Spokesman Jeff Golden said his department was

not aware of the illness until Friday evening.

While the university will lead the investigation, Golden said it will likely keep in contact with his department.

“My guess is that … [the uni-versity’s] epidemiologist and their health people will investi-gate this thoroughly and prob-ably bring some of our people in as well,” Golden said.

H ave you ever had one of those weeks were noth-ing—absolutely noth-

ing!—funny happens to you, but your friends’ lives seem to be a constant source of amusement? Welp, that was my life last week. In the continual cycle of coffee, class and work, my existence turned completely lackluster. Thank goodness for the absurdi-ties of others.

Seeing as I have no funny story to recall or observation to discuss, I’ll share these funny stories with you. And if you’re having a duller than dull week, I hope they provide you with some comic relief.

“Dingleberries”My friend and her boyfriend

are very close. While I stand firmly in my “use discretion”-corner, she tells her boyfriend everything—and I mean every-thing—about her life. Usually I envy this openness, but Wednesday reminded me why it is sometimes best to keep your mouth shut.

After taking a shower that

morning, my friend emerged from the bathroom to tell her boyfriend, “You’re not going to believe it. I just pulled the lon-gest dingleberry ever out of my butt!” Her boyfriend, whose face at that moment I would pay mil-lions of dollars to see, respond-ed, “Ew, babe, I don’t need to know that! Why are you telling me this?” My friend, confused and somewhat offended, asked, “What’s the big deal? Everybody gets dingleberries.”

As it turns out, my friend thought “dingleberries” was the term used for the hair you find stuck in your butt crack after you take a shower, not, well, poop. After her boyfriend corrected her, she was mortified and came to me for reassurance, but I don’t think my continual fits of laugh-ter were all that comforting.

The (maybe) dead neighbor College apartment build-

ings smell awful. It is an unfor-tunate reality of Madisonian life, and why my friends didn’t immediately worry when their complex started to smell like Hagrid’s armpit. They did start to worry, however, when a pack-age left leaning against the door of the apartment across the hall, remained untouched for three long weeks.

“If something was going

to and from that apartment, the package would have fall-en or been brought inside or SOMETHING!” my friend ner-vously reasoned. I sat on the couch, urging her to call the police. Did I actually think her neighbor was dead? It seemed plausible, but more than any-thing I wanted to see this situa-tion unfold. After 20 minutes of convincing and a spiked Arnold Palmer, she called the non-emergency police, who said they would be over immediately.

Well, we must have missed their arrival, because when my friend looked again 10 minutes later, the book was gone. One of two things happened: The police came, saw that the apartment had been vacated and took to book, OR IT WAS IT GHOST! Man, what I wouldn’t give up to

have a haunted apartment dur-ing a boring week like this. The Bob Saget encounter

I’ve had a lot of lucky moments in life. When I was a kid, I won a free cruise, a trip to London and—wait for it—a pineapple within the span of five years. More recently, I was brought up on stage at The Second City in Chicago last month, an exciting moment for me considering the loves of my life happen to be Tina Fey and Amy Poehler.

But that’s all in the past, because last week my friend got to talk to and meet the father figure we all grew up with: Bob Saget, also know as Danny Tanner from “Full House.”

While I was meeting with my bosses for a mid-semester evaluation, my friend was chat-ting up the Bobster, asking about his buddy John Stamos and if he would every consider chang-ing his name to Bob Swaget. Then when she went to his show Friday night, Bob remembered her and called her “nice.” I can’t get my own sister to call me nice.

Delving into ’s HistoryNovember 2, 1992

By KARIN NEMBACHof the Cardinal staff

If Hillary Clinton has her way, the United States will have a “real education president” in 1993.

Longtime advocate of children’s education Clinton spoke to approximately 400 Wisconsin Education Association members Friday at their annual convention.

Clinton, a member of the Children’s Defense Fund and participator in the National Council for Education in the Economy, got a roaring response to her statement, “Wouldn’t it be nice to have a real education president for a change?”

She said her husband, Gov. Bill Clinton, would provide full funding for Head Start so that every youngster can have a chance to succeed. She said a strong correlation exists between the achievements a child has in school with its future success in the real world.

“The more a child learns the more the child will earn,” she said.

She said thousands of families already participate in programs that help single-mothered homes with educating their children. Through these programs, the mothers have become partners with the schools in raising their children, she said.

Clinton contrasted her

husband’s program with President Bush’s Education 2000 proposal. She said Bush’s program wants American students to be the best by year 2000, but the proposal lacks cultural, social and educational considerations that U.S. students need in order to succeed. She added it fails to unify the nation in

its efforts to achieve academic excellence and fails to provide the necessary motivation.

“A classroom needs to challenge students to think and dream,” she said.

To provide this motivation, she said, Bill Clinton is proposing an apprenticeship program to non-college students that continues two

years after high school.Another Clinton presidential

proposal terminates the current student loan program and replaces it with the National Service Trust Fund designed to allow students to pay back tuition by taxing graduates’ job income or by having graduates spend two years in government service.

Newly elected ASM Reps. call for more transparencyBy aleah HeinleinthedailycardiNal

Newly elected Associated Students of Madison represen-tatives said they want to see more transparency within stu-dent government.

Freshman Rep. Mia Akers said she hopes she can make ASM clearer and more accessible to students, and that she hopes to bring a less tense atmosphere to student council meetings.

“I want people to look at me and what I bring to ASM as an unbiased person who brings a lot of experience and diversity to any decisions I make,” Akers said.

Similarly, Freshman Rep. Devon Maier said he wants to see more student participation and

media opportunities in ASM.Maier said UW-Madison stu-

dents could be more involved with shared governance at the university.

“I consider myself an agent for change across campus,” Maier said.

Rep. Maria Giannopoulos said she wants to use ASM to promote opportunities for students and keep students informed on topics that pertain to them.

“We are the representation for our student body,” Giannopoulos said. “I am really excited to be seen as a listening person, rather than just a talking person.”

Rep. Colin Higgins said he hopes to get students involved in state and national politics and make it easier to vote through ASM.

Higgins also would like to see a sustainability committee estab-lished to make campus more environmentally friendly.

“I would like to be seen as someone who factors in the decision of the environment,” Higgins said. “Not just the eco-logical environment, but also the social environment of the stu-dent body on campus.”

Following a flurry of policy-making that included extending concealed carry to the legislative floors of the Capitol, a group of protestors sued the state Friday over their right to carry banners and signs in state buildings.

In a lawsuit filed against the Wisconsin Department of Administration Friday, six pro-testors are challenging a state policy that prohibits carrying banners and signs in state build-ings without explicit permission from the DOA. The six received citations during Capitol pro-tests in March for holding signs inside the Capitol.

“In all cases the signs were examples of the pure expression of political ideas,” lawyer Jeff Scott Olson wrote in the lawsuit. “Several signs that led to citations

simply contained (the) words of the free speech provision of the Wisconsin Constitution.”

Capitol Police issued each protestor a $500 fine. The cita-tions have been dismissed by the Dane County District Attorney’s Office, according to the Wisconsin State Journal.

The Assembly Committee on Organization altered policy to permit concealed firearms on both the Assembly floor and gallery Thursday morning. An attempt to amend the proposal to also allow signs in the gallery by Rep. Peter Barca, D-Kenosha, was one of many efforts by Democrats to highlight both suggested similarities between the issues and apparently incon-sistent policies.

“I’m going to be able to bring my gun [on the assembly floor], we’re going to be able to bring

guns into the gallery,” Rep. Kelda Helen Roys, D-Madison, said. “That’s apparently not going to be a distraction. But it’s going to be a problem for people to hold signs, or wave a flag or wear a button. I just don’t know where this ends.”

A total 18 people were eject-ed from the gallery Thursday for disrupting and distracting legislators after repeated warn-ings from Speaker Pro Tem Bill Kramer, R-Waukesha, including a number of people for signs fea-turing Jesus, Mother Teresa and the American flag.

The gallery was cleared for good after a number of obsceni-ties were directed at Speaker Jeff Fitzgerald, R-Horicon.

The DOA has yet to comment on the lawsuit, which names DOA and Capitol Police officials as defendants.

Man asks police for ride, gets busted with Hydrocodone, open beer container

Police arrested a Milwaukee man for possession of an open beer and a container of Hydrocodone pills on Regent Street late Thursday night.

The man, 31, first made contact with police at a West Washington Avenue convenience store earlier Thursday night when he tried to convince a patrolling officer it was the officer’s “duty” to give him a ride to a friend’s house on Verona Road.

“The officer told him that actu-ally was not part of his tour of duty, and he explained to the man how one can utilize a city bus to get to a destination,” Madison Police Department Spokesperson

Joel DeSpain said in a statement.Police recognized the same

man a few minutes later standing on the traffic island at the inter-section of Regent Street and West Washington Avenue.

According to the report, there was an open pint-sized container of beer in addition to several arti-cles of clothing, which had been in the man’s backpack, strung out on the island.

Police also found Hydrocodone pills, not prescribed to the man, in the man’s pocket.

“He did get a ride in a squad car, although not to his destina-tion of choice,” DeSpain said.

tures within 60 days of the start of a recall petition to force a recall election. If different peti-tions are sponsored by different organizations, voters can sign

multiple petitions.United Wisconsin and the

DPW have long planned initi-ating the recall effort on Nov. 15. These organizations plan on beginning what they call the “real” recall effort next Tuesday.

“It is important for the supporters of the real effort to remove Walker from office remain focused and not sign any recall petition until November 15,” United Wisconsin said on its website.

Florence + the Machine are back with their second full-length release. Released on Nov. 1, Ceremonials features Florence Welsh at her best, showing that she is as dark and romantic as on previ-ously released Lungs, with a sense of album cohesiveness that was not found on the for-mer release. Welsh success-fully proves “Dog Days are Over” is not a one-hit wonder, but that she truly has staying power.

Ceremonials begins with piano and harp heavy “Only If for a Night,” a song with strong Bjork influences. Unfortunately, the song grows repetitive and dragged out, making it a weak opener for the album.

“Shake it Out” is one of the best singles from Ceremonials, and for good reason. Much like her earlier hit “The Dog Days Are Over,” “Shake it Out” stresses the importance of cel-ebrating life. Welsh also sings about moving on from the past with the line “and it’s hard to dance / with the devil on your back / so shake him off.”

Released in August, pre-ceding the album, “What the Water Gave Me” is the album’s first released song. Here, Welsh departs from her pre-viously uplifting mood estab-lished on “Shake it Off ” to dive into topics relating to death and suicide. References to both Virginia Woolf (“pock-ets full of stones”) and Frida Kahlo (“What the Water Gave Me” comes from the transla-tion of Kahlo’s painting “Lo Que el agua me dio”) are found within the song.

Throughout Ceremonials Welsh proves the point that she is a hopeless romantic obsessed with relationships, despite the fact that her pursuits usually ends up in heartbreak.

A motown sound can be found in “Lover to Lover”. The song conjures up the sound of an early Annie

Lennox mixed with a modern Adele. Welsh explores top-ics of sexuality, claiming that there’s no salvation for her now, but “that’s alright.”

The second single from Ceremonials is “No Light, No Light.” This song catpures Welsh at both her most desper-ate and poetic. She explores the subject of not loving someone enough to stay with them, but finding herself unable to tell her lover that she has stopped feeling the relationship (“but it’s so hard, my love / to say it to you alone”). “No light, no light, in your bright blue eyes,” she sings, with the lack of light perceived in her lover’s eye portraying the actual lack of light in her own heart.

An R&B feel comes through strong in the track “Heartlines.” Despite a strong refrain, at times the powerful drums muddle the chorus.

“Spectrum” continues the R&B feel from “Heartlines.” In “Spectrum,” love is once again explored. It brings up themes of how love makes you shine and is able to bring out your true colors and potential. As Welsh sings, “Say my name, and every color illuminates.”

In “All This and Heaven Too”, Welsh continues the dis-cussion on love. To her, love is complicated and difficult to understand. She explains that “the heart is hard to trans-late / it has a language of its own.” She ends, with the lyric, “all this heaven / never could describe / such a feeling as I’m having / Words were never / so useful so I’m screaming out / a language that I never / knew existed before,” continuing her lyrical discussion of the com-plexities of romance.

“All This and Heaven Too” is easily the most memorable song on the album, despite its cliché girl-likes-boy story.

Ceremonials ends with “Leave My Body.” In this, Welsh describes how she does not want a relationship, but instead is seeking a higher,

almost metaphysical relation-ship through the lines “I don’t want your future / I don’t need your past / one bright moment / is all I ask / I’m moving on to higher grounds.”

Overall , Ceremonials is a decent new release by Florence + the Machine. However, the length of the CD starts to feel a bit like a marathon. Topping out at 56 minutes, its length feels dauntingly long for an indie-pop album.

Arguably Florence + the Machine’s best song to date is “Kiss With a Fist” (from the 2009 Lungs) running a little over two minutes. Welsh should have taken a hint that much can be accomplished in a short amount of time from the success of this con-cise song. This album’s songs could have been equally pow-erful at a more manageable 3 minutes compared to 5. For those who are unable to com-mit to 56 minutes, try “Shake it Out,” “Lover to Lover” and “All this and Heaven Too.”

On the SkinnyCeremonials, the latest from Florence in the Machine, is worth a listen, but not worth raving about.

Did it pass?We gave it a C+ for overall decent sound and lyricism, but drawn-out length.

T his November marks the birth of a new cinematic obscenity from Adam

Sandler. It is so obviously, absurdly horrible that upon viewing the trail-er for the first time, I assumed it was a leftover gag movie from “Funny People,” in which Sandler plays a hyperbolized version of himself, starring in such fictional trash as “Mer-Man,” “Astro-Not” and “My Best Friend is a Robot”—I wish that were the case.

Sadly, “Jack and Jill,” in which Sandler dons drag to play both a twin brother and his profoundly obnoxious sister, is very, very real. So to save your eyes the searing pain of seeing Sandler debase him-self in drag for another pile of cash.For your enjoyment, I present this list of other, less insufferable movies to see this November:

“The Artist” (Already in lim-ited release, Nov. 23 Wide Release): Set in 1927 Hollywood, this film con-cerns George Valentin, a silent movie superstar. His career is set on a path toward imminent demise thanks to the arrival of the “talkies.” French writer-director Michel Hazanavicius won Best Director at the 2011 Cannes Film Festival for this ambitious film, which itself is a modern-day black-and-white silent film.

Critics are already praising this historical tale of video-killed-the-radio-star—or rather, silent movie star as a potential Best Picture con-tender at the Oscars, if the Academy can embrace the film’s authentic silence—but that’s a big “if” consid-ering just how much sound helps us engage with movies.

“The Artist” likely isn’t for everyone, but I’m intrigued to see how Hazanavicius has crafted such a well-received film without the use of sound or color in an age where story telling has become increasingly dependent on crutch-es like expository dialogue and gaudy special effects.

“The Muppets” (Nov. 23): I was never one for Disney movies as a kid, as much of a sacrilege as that may be to some, but I did love the Muppets—everything from the cartoon Muppet Babies to “Muppet Treasure Island” the movie. With the pure, unbridled love of Muppets that Jason Segel has dem-onstrated over the years, including his hilarious vampire-puppet love story musical nod to the Henson creations in “Forgetting Sarah Marshall,” I can’t imagine a better candidate than Segel for reviving the franchise without losing what

made the Muppets so lovable to begin with.

This time around, Kermit, with the help of Segel and Amy Adams, must reunite the Muppets who have gone their separate ways over the years. They do this in order to stage a telethon and raise $10 million to save the Muppet Theater from being destroyed by a nefarious Texas oil tycoon, who wants to drill for oil.

If the delightfully satirical faux movie trailers featuring the Muppets released so far are any indication, “The Muppets” may just live up to the ambitious name Segel originally wrote for his script, “The Greatest Muppet Movie of All Time.”

“Hugo” (Nov. 23): This film fol-lows the adventures of an early 20th century orphan living in the walls of a Parisian train station. He finds himself involved in a magical adven-ture involving mysterious machines, an eccentric girl and the odd owner of a toy store in the station.

With the exception of Pixar films, I’m not much of an aficio-nado of kids movies. The same can be said for 3-D movies. So why am I excited to see “Hugo,” this non-Pix-ar 3-D kids movie? Martin Scorsese. If Scorsese, the man behind “Taxi Driver,” “Goodfellas,” “The Departed” and too many other clas-sic films to name here, thinks he can put 3-D to good use, I’m willing to give him the benefit of the doubt—ditto for the family movie genre.

“Attack the Block” (out now): This self-written directorial debut from Joe Cornish, a frequent writ-ing collaborator of Edgar Wright (“Shaun of the Dead,” “Scott Pilgrim”), made its way onto my list of favorite films of the year with ease, calling to mind other epic writer-director debuts like Quentin Tarantino’s “Reservoir Dogs” and Neil Blomkamp’s “District Nine.”

The film takes place entirely in and around a large public housing estate in London, where a group of inner-city teenage thugs is forced to defend their block from an alien invasion in the middle of the night.

“Attack the Block” shows off an incredibly tight script riddled with clever surprises and a pitch-perfect blend of white-knuckle sci-fi horror thrills. It is entranc-ing with it’s slick and stylish action sequences and signature British wit that could be studied in any screen writing class as a perfect example of the craft at its finest. The best part is you can see “Attack the Block” right now on DVD and Blu-ray.

Got your own best movie picks of November? Send your questions and comments (especially if they include Adam-Sandler-related praise) to David at dcottrell@wisc.edu.

“Best of” in Brief“Attack the Block,” involves a troupe of city-dwelling teens forced to defend themselves against an alien attack, and is among David’s picks for best films of November:

“The Artist” silent movie superstar faces down the “talkies.”“The Muppets” Jason Segel’s revital-ization of the classic series.“Hugo” Martin Scorsese’s tale of an orphan boy who goes on eccentric adventures.

The United States has long had an interest in nation-building. Aside from our military involve-ment in Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya, we’re also firing drones into Pakistan, Somalia and Yemen. Thanks to Wikileaks, we now know that the CIA is in the process of establishing secret drone bases in places like Djibouti, Ethiopia and the Seychelles Islands. In addi-tion to close alliances with Israel and Turkey, the United States has formed a sphere of influence around Iran and guaranteed that it has an impact on the develop-ment and repercussions of the Arab Spring—for better or worse.

The incentives are obvious: When we are able to influence the development or redevelopment of newly reformed governments we can support leaders and initia-tives that aid American interests. It worked well with the Marshall Plan, not so well in Vietnam and has had mixed results in the Middle East. And while there may still be some inkling of moral initiative to spread freedom and democra-cy, where and how we attempt to exert our influence should be ana-lyzed primarily as strategic. If we really cared about spreading the American ideal we would current-ly be putting far more diplomatic pressure on the extremely oppres-sive Syrian regime.

Yet, for all our efforts to influence nation building in the Middle East, there has been comparatively much less effort to intervene in a nation much closer to home—Mexico.

Despite the fact that immigra-tion is an enormous political and economic issue in America, there has been little recognition that our neighbor to the south is quickly becoming a failed state. Indeed, debate in the United States has been far more focused on the domestic repercussions rather than the root of the problem. Just last September, high-way traffic was tempo-rarily blocked in Boca del Rio, Mexico, when drug cartel gunmen unload-ed 35 dead bodies into the street. Just a few days later, five severed heads were found in a primary school in Acapulco.

In the last four years nearly 30,000 people have died in the regional battles between Mexican drug cartels—and that’s just the ones who have been discovered. Mexico’s top federal policeman Genaro Garcia Luna estimated that drug kingpins invest over $100 mil-lion a month into corrupting local and state-level policeman in the country. Mexico’s once-booming oil export rates have dwindled since 2006, spring break tourism dropped 93 percent from 2010-’11 and in that same period 67 per-

cent of Mexican businesses told the Mexican Chamber of Commerce that they felt less safe doing business.

Incredibly, despite the wide-spread political corruption Mexico has recently enjoyed significant eco-nomic growth—5.5 percent in 2010 with similar forecasts for 2011—thanks in large part to its compara-tive advantage in car engine produc-

tion and increased export of electronics. And while economic growth has encouraged an increasing proportion of Mexicans to relocate to central urban cities, an enormous amount still seek refuge in the United States to escape the rapid increase

in violence between the country’s eight large drug organizations.

We have long felt these trends domestically. California’s recent passage of the “Dream Act” allows illegal immigrants to access state financial aid at public universities and junior college—just one of many controversial legislative debates on immigration in the United States. Herman Cain recently joked that he would build an electric fence along the Mexico-U.S. border with alliga-tors and a moat if elected. Putting aside these debates for the moment, everyone can agree mass Mexican immigration, and the enormous amount of remittance aid sent back to immigrants’ families, is, in part, a

response to the lack of opportunity and political instability in Mexico. Thus the increase in drug cartel wars encourages illegal immigra-tion by failing to provide safety and security in Mexico. In addition, the influx of illegal drugs and the vio-lence that accompanies it spills over into the United States. In the long-term, a politically corrupt neighbor has the potential to undermine U.S. interests by making trade agree-ments unreliable.

So why not nation build in Mexico? In 2012 USAID will give just over $60 million in aid to Mexico, but when political insti-tutions are deeply corrupt, and drug cartels give almost twice that amount to Mexican officials every month, our aid is either misused or ineffective. And while the United States military has started to help train Mexican police, they have done little to curb the power of drug cartels in the country.

Our first and most obvious step is to legalize marijuana. The U.S. Department of Justice estimates that the Mexican earnings from drug sales is upwards of $48 billion, half of which is expected to come from cannabis. Aside from argu-ments about personal liberty and the harm of marijuana, it would create a large legitimate market in the United States and eradicate the cartel’s oligopoly on its distri-bution. Legalizing marijuana is easier said than done, yet we may

actually be doing a disservice to Mexico by maintaining its illegal-ity. This is, however, no wholesale solution—90 percent of cocaine in America flows through Mexico and its export of crystal methamphet-amine is an enormous source of income that won’t be legalized in the United States any time soon.

The U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency does what it can to curb the trade within the United States, but it can do little to improve conditions in Mexico. If we have the funds to establish military bases and carry out drone attacks in a number of Middle Eastern countries, one would assume we have the capabil-ity to significantly aid the training and deployment of police in nearby Mexico. Sending American troops is out of the question politically, but we have the resources to train Mexican troops and police units on a wider scale.

No one solution is all-encom-passing, and eventually political institutions in Mexico will have to eradicate corruption and put power back in the hands of its legitimate government in order to have long-term success. But with the resourc-es we have, and the economic incentives an eradicated drug trade might offer, perhaps it’s time for the United States to consider nation-building closer to home.

The Wisconsin men’s bas-ketball team got its season off to a solid start with an 80-54 win over Division III power-house UW-Stevens Point in the Badgers’ lone exhibition game of the season.

Junior forward Ryan Evans, who has been thrust into the starting lineup this season fol-lowing the departure of three seniors from last year’s front court, led the way with 16 points on 7-of-10 shooting in 23 minutes. Sophomore guard Ben Brust added 14 points of his own, while junior forward Jared Berggren and sophomore guard Josh Gasser rounded out the group of four Badgers in double figures with 12 and 10 points, respectively.

The scoring outburst by Berggren and Evans was partic-ularly welcomed, with the front court completely revamped from last season.

“I didn’t notice anything I haven’t known for a while,” senior guard Jordan Taylor said. “They know what they’re capable of, they’re really good players and they’re just getting a chance to show it now.”

“We’ve known we can do this kind of stuff,” Evans said. “But with Jon [Leuer] and Keaton [Nankivil] leaving, we know we’ve got to step up a little more.”

After a season where Wisconsin relied heavily on the scoring of Leuer and Taylor, Badger fans were treated to a much more spread out scoring attack as the Badgers managed to hit the 80-point mark despite the eight points, Taylor scored on 3-of-6 shooting. However, the senior guard made his pres-ence well-known throughout, as he finished the game with a game-high seven assists and just one turnover.

“Jordan wasn’t looking to do

anything but run the show,” head coach Bo Ryan said of Taylor. “If the shots were there then great [...] that’s when you know you’ve got a good point guard.”

The Pointers hung in the game through the first half, drawing within 10 after open-ing the second half with a score, but quickly fading as the Badgers size and strength began to take its toll. Senior guard Dan Tillema led the way for Stevens Point with 24 points on 8-for-17 shooting, but ultimately it wasn’t enough to keep pace as the Pointers faded from a 62 percent shooting effort from the field in the first half to shoot just 32 percent in the second half.

“It seems like every time you play one of these games, there’s a guy who gets hot,” Ryan said. “You just can’t give him open looks and we did a much better job of that in the second half.”

The Badgers were very aggres-sive on the defensive end through-

out the game, forcing Stevens Point into committing 18 turn-overs—a high tally for a Pointer program known throughout the Division III world for its ability to take care of the ball.

While the positives were everywhere for Wisconsin, one area that will certainly get emphasis in the break down is the free throw shooting. A season after nearing setting a NCAA record for their profi-ciency at the line, the Badgers were just 6-for-12 from the charity stripe in the opener, a far cry from last season’s 81.4 percent season total.

“You remember its who is shooting them,” Ryan said. “Last year, the right guys got fouled, confident shooters. But yeah, it’s early.”

The Badgers now have another week to batten up the hatches before opening the regular season next Saturday against Kennesaw State. Tip off is at noon at the Kohl Center.

but the blame could certain-ly be spread among the entire Badgers team. Junior defense-man John Ramage deflected two Husky goals past Peterson, Wisconsin gave up two more power play goals while failing to score any of their own and the offense never seemed to

gain any control over the game.Wisconsin came out

Saturday night looking for redemption and hoping to prove that Friday night’s loss was nothing more than a fluke. Schultz opened the scoring once again for the Badgers, but St. Cloud State would battle back and tie the game by the end of the first period.

Two more goals by the Huskies put the Badgers down 3-1 early in the third period, but just as they have done so often early on this season, Wisconsin would not give up, battling back to tie the game with two goals in the final five minutes.

Paape pulled Wisconsin within one with 4:19 remaining before Schultz, who is playing some of his best hockey to date, scored the tying goal with only 40 seconds left in regulation. After a scoreless overtime, the Badgers escaped with a 3-3 tie.

Eaves was not overly con-cerned with the final score on Saturday, but put more empha-sis on having his team play a complete game.

“I told the boys [Friday] night that it didn’t matter if we won or lost or tied tonight, it was how we played,” Eaves said after Saturday’s game. “How we played got us back into this game and got us a point on the road. It was a real good effort by a young team”

As young as the Badgers are this season (20 players are freshmen or sophomores, while there are just five juniors and one senior), they have shown

incredible poise in their ability to fight back from multi-goal deficits this season, but games like Friday night’s are unavoid-able when facing teams that are led by experienced upperclass-men, like St. Cloud State.

In order to win games this year, Wisconsin is going to need to rely on their best weap-on—Schultz.

“We see him every day and maybe we take him for grant-ed,” Eaves said of his star defenseman. “Every night he provides something.”

A Hobey Baker Award final-ist from a year ago, Schultz has 14 points in ten games (four goals, ten assists) for the Badgers this year and is unquestionably their most con-sistent player. After all of the losses from last year’s team, Schultz is the face of Wisconsin hockey and he will have to play like it if the Badgers want to make a return to the NCAA tournament this season.

The Badgers return home this coming weekend for a series with archrival Minnesota at the Kohl Center.

badgers bounce back, roll over Purdueby Parker GabrielThe Daily CarDinal

This was not a statement win. A 31-point victory over

Nebraska is a statement win, a proclamation of power or posi-tion or superiority at a given moment. Pounding a medio-cre team into the turf does not tell the world much it does not already know about the Wisconsin football team.

This was a bloodletting, an opportunity to put two excruciat-ing weeks to bed, buried beneath piles and piles of points.

Sixty-two of them, all told. “We needed a win, not nec-

essarily a blowout win,” sopho-more offensive lineman Travis Frederick said.

Still, a blowout it was. Wisconsin rolled up 38 points and 425 yards of offense in the first half and finished the night with six rushing touchdowns and a 62-17 win over Purdue. Junior running back Montee Ball put together the best game of his career, carrying 20 times for 223 yards and three more scores. He now sits at 24 total touchdowns on the season (21 rushing), tied for the single season school record,

set in 2005 by Brian Calhoun. “He’s wired in a way right

now where he expects success on every play and he’s extremely physical,” Bielema said.

Ball set the tone from the first play, when he ripped off a 44-yard run off the right side.

“When he’s hit-ting the hole like that, guys are going to have to pursue a little faster,” Frederick said. “And when they pursue faster it just opens up bigger holes on the outside.”

As the offense hummed, special teams continued to struggle. The Boilermakers ripped off kick returns of 49 and 74 yards on their first two attempts.

“We’ll have to evaluate our personnel and also what we do with our alignments and our cov-erage rules,” Bielema said.

The longer of the two set Purdue up in the red zone, but senior cornerback Antonio Fenelus made an outstand-ing open-field tackle and the Boilermakers settled for a field goal that made it 14-10 at the time.

As concerning as special teams is for the Badgers, an ankle injury

to senior free safety Aaron Henry threatened to make things worse. However, Bielema said x-rays showed no breaks and that Henry wanted to be ready to go this week.

“When you lose a player at one position, it’s a domino effect on

how it affects your spe-cial teams, how it affects your sub-packages,” Bielema said. “It really, really gets difficult as the season goes on.”

Down a playmaker in the secondary, UW got interceptions from its two top lineback-ers, sophomore Chris Borland (11 tackles) and junior Mike Taylor (nine). Taylor tracked down a tipped ball and

Borland’s came deep in Purdue territory and set up a 5-yard touchdown run from sophomore James White on the next play.

“I gave [Borland] some heat because he couldn’t get in the end zone,” Bielema said with a smile after the game.

Along with a tangible reminder of their offensive explosiveness, the Badgers also held serve in a wild Big Ten race. They still need help in the form of losses by Ohio State and Penn State, but on a weekend full of unpredictability, staying in the race was enough.

“In the Big Ten, anybody can get anybody on any given Saturday,” Bielema said.

With three regular season games remaining on the sched-ule, a third loss essentially ends all hope.

“Every game from here on out is a championship game for us,” Ball said.

The Badgers’ one-day-at-a-time mantra will continue on that three-week quest, but putting such a giant clot in what had become a leaky vessel brings at least momentary comfort.

“The more I’m in this busi-ness, the more I realize that when things start to go against you, how hard it is to bring it back,” Bielema said. “It’s good to be back on track.”

by max SternbergThe Daily CarDinal

It is no secret that the Wisconsin football team prefers to play its games in Madison. But after Saturday’s 62-17 vic-tory over Purdue (2-3 Big Ten 4-5 overall), a victory that came on the heels of two-consecutive losses on the road, it is clear that the Badgers (2-2. 7-2) are a differ-ent team inside the confines of Camp Randall Stadium.

While senior quarterback Russell Wilson was again the focal point of the offense early on, Saturday’s outburst was largely courtesy of junior running back Montee Ball. Ball finished the game with 223 yards on 20 car-ries, scoring three touchdowns in the process to tie him with Brian Calhoun for the school record of 24 touchdowns for the year.

“Montee Ball ran awesome, he always does,” sophomore guard Travis Frederick said. “That’s something we love about him. He’s always running up and down the field.”

“Montee did a great job,” junior center Peter Konz added. “As much as it is up blocking up front, the rest of it is [Ball]. He did phenomenal in breaking tackles and running hard and pushing for the goal line, it’s all on him.”

Though the final score was lopsided, the Badgers once again left gaping holes in the kick cov-erage and blew several pass cov-erages in the secondary. Purdue got their first two scores of the game courtesy of 44 and 66-yard returns by freshman Raheem Mostert, setting the Boilermakers up inside Badger territory twice in the opening quarter.

“Kind of like the last kick a week ago, missed tackles kill you. You just cant have missed tack-les on kick coverage,” head coach Bret Bielema said of the kick cov-erage. “We’re going to have to: A., evaluate personnel, and, B. what we’re doing with our alignments

and our coverage rules.”Purdue initially got into a 7-7

tie on a 30-yard pass from junior quarterback Caleb TerBush to junior tight end Crosby Wright, who was wide open thanks to miscommunication once again within the Wisconsin secondary.

“There was a bust in the coverage, [UW safety] Shelton [Johnson] knew it right away,” Bielema said. “The great news is he had a good look in his eye on the way back.”

What definitely came through on Saturday was Wisconsin’s abil-ity to run the ball down the throat of opposing defenses, something that the Badgers have not really emphasized in their play calling since the two-game losing streak began. The three-headed monster of Ball, Wilson and sophomore running back James White as threats on the ground kept the Boilermaker defense off balance all afternoon, as the Badgers racked up 425 yards of total offense in the first half alone and finished the game with 605 yards of production, a far cry from the totals UW has managed over the past two weeks.

But while the offense was the focus of the postgame attention, the defense stepped up at key moments throughout the game. With UW leading 14-7, senior cor-nerback Antonio Fenelus made a crucial open-field tackle on third-and-goal that forced Purdue into a field goal and maintained the Badger lead. And after having gone two weeks without an inter-ception, the turnover machine got going once again, thanks to interceptions from linebackers junior Mike Taylor and sopho-more Chris Borland. Both turn-overs led to Badger touchdowns, playing a large part in what ulti-mately became a very lopsided final score.

“Turnovers are huge,” Borland said after the game. “Anytime you can get our offense the ball back the way they were playing today, that’s huge.”

Wisconsin remains winless on the roadby matt mastersonThe Daily CarDinal

The Wisconsin men’s hock-ey team (3-4-1 WCHA, 4-5-1 overall) traveled to St. Cloud, Minn. this weekend, looking for its first road win of the sea-son against St. Cloud State, but after a disappointing loss on Friday and a hard-fought tie on Saturday, the search goes on.

After impressive outings against quality opponents like North Dakota and Nebraska-Omaha at home, the Badgers’ young team finally seemed in over their heads against St. Cloud State in a 7-2 romp Friday night.

St. Cloud opened the scor-ing with goals from sophomore Andrew Prochno and junior David Eddy before UW junior defenseman and assistant cap-

tain Justin Schultz scored his second goal of the season to put Wisconsin on the board.

After falling behind 3-1, fresh-man forward Matt Paape scored his second career goal as a Badger to cut the lead to one, but that would be as close as Wisconsin would get. St. Cloud would close out the game with four straight goals, including the fourth and fifth of the season for Husky captain Ben Hanowski.

Special-teams failure (0-for-5 on the power play) and defen-sive mistakes made life easy for St. Cloud in the rout, facts that were not lost on Badger head coach Mike Eaves.

“I put the blame on us

because the goals [St. Cloud] got were holes in the way we were playing defensive zone coverage. It was holes in our game that helped them get the

victory,” Eaves said after Friday’s loss.

Eaves’s young team had always seemed to find a way to battle back and play close games early on this season, but Friday’s loss was the first time the Badgers were completely out-matched from start to

finish this year.Freshman goaltender
